Completed : WANGATABUTHI COMPREHENSIVE SCHOOL – 4 New Classrooms

About the Project

A new site for ABW, Wangatabuthi Comprehensive School had poor studying conditions and was in need of new classrooms. The school had mud buildings for every grade, and one stone structure onsite. The mud classrooms were extremely dark and compact, with a very limited lifespan, requiring regular maintenance. New classrooms give the school permanency, provide a conducive learning environment, and protect teachers, students and materials from the elements.

The current classrooms are old mud buildings that are falling apart.
